ROD MARLEY’S 405 CATALOG GROWS THROUGH COLLABORATION AND VISUAL MEMORY
From Munchies and OK 2 LA to Literally, the Oklahoma City artist keeps returning to the people and images around the music.
Rod Marley’s catalog is long enough to show that collaboration is the working method rather than a campaign tactic.
Projects stretching from Munchies through OK 2 LA, Weekend and Literally give the Oklahoma City artist a substantial independent timeline. The records land hardest beside a recurring creative circle that includes Kid Lennon, Ripleyz, Alexis Renee, Nymasis and Young Hippy Kids.
The memory connecting the catalog
The 2021 “Walk Thru” video with Kid Lennon and Ripleyz ties the artists to Oklahoma City and keeps functioning as a visible record of the 405 network. Other videos and live pieces extend that shared world.
A future interview could turn years of uploads into an oral history of how the songs, locations and collaborators came together. The catalog already exists. The deeper story is the memory connecting it.
